This is the same process I use when auditing competitors for the service area businesses I manage — and you can run it yourself after watching this.What's covered:
🔗 Backlink profile breakdown — where their domain authority actually comes from
✅Top-ranking page structure — the on-page signals doing the heavy lifting
✅ Schema markup — the local business signals they're declaring to Google
✅ Internal linking — how they push ranking power to their money pages
✅AI search signals — what's driving their visibility in AI-powered search results
If you're a service area business trying to rank across multiple cities — this is the blueprint.
